This is my first shot at using 100% struts tags for my forms. I'm missing something.
snippet from jsp: <html:form action="pmregister" method="post" focus="firstName" name="pmRegisterForm" type="com.je.struts.action.PMRegisterForm"> <!--<form action="pm/pmregister" method="post"> --> <P>First name * : <html:text property="firstName" size="20" maxlength="15"/></P> <P>Last name * : <html:text property="lastName" size="20" maxlength="20"/></P> <P>Street * : <html:text property="street" size="20" maxlength="20"/></P> <P>City * : <html:text property="city" size="20" maxlength="20"/></P> <BR> <BR> <html:submit value="Submit" /> <!--</form> --> </html:form> You will notice the commented previous old form tag. Here's what the rendered "real" html looks like: <form name="pmRegisterForm" method="post" action="/webapp"> <!--<form action="pm/pmregister" method="post"> --> <P>First name * : <input type="text" name="firstName" maxlength="15" size="20" value=""></P> <P>Last name * : <input type="text" name="lastName" maxlength="20" size="20" value=""></P> <P>Street * : <input type="text" name="street" maxlength="20" size="20" value=""></P> <P>City * : <input type="text" name="city" maxlength="20" size="20" value=""></P> <BR> <BR> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> <!--</form> --> </form> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> <!-- var focusControl = document.forms["pmRegisterForm"].elements["firstName"]; if (focusControl.type != "hidden") { focusControl.focus(); } // --> </script> Something is not right here. Why is my action equal to the context? When I submit the form, I'm taken to the home page of my application. The struts action does NOT run. Here's my struts XML: <form-bean name="pmRegisterForm" type="com.je.struts.action.PMRegisterForm"> </form-bean> ..... <action path="/pmregister" type="com.je.struts.action.PMRegisterAction" scope="request" name="pmRegisterForm" input="/tmpl_main.jsp?page=/main/pm/regform.jsp&page_title=Property Management Services" validate="true"> <forward name="fees" path="/tmpl_main.jsp?page=/main/pm/fees.jsp&page_title=Property Management Services"/> </action> I have /pm/* mapped to the main struts action servlet in web.xml. <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>ActionServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/pm/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> I also have many more mappings to the same servlet. I'm not just using /go/*.
